RIM BlackBerry 8830
All work and no play makes a phone a BlackBerry. At least the 8830 adds video and music (but no camera) to RIM's robust communications mix. Unfortunately, messaging suffers from a crowded, shallow keyboard, which we found too easy to fat-finger and ...
Powers up in a flash. Solid speakerphone. Backlight levels adjust automatically to ambient light. Still-unrivaled mobile email. It's a world phone: Budapest, here we come
Wide 2.6-inch body. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth stereo. Music player doesn't do DRM. New trackball, which might come as a shock to BlackBerry diehards, can be imprecise

The wheel makes it easier to manuever withing the phone
Blue tooth connections are poor at best, regardless of the device. (Must keep the phone on the same side as the blue tooth headset for example). Email functionality on non-blackberry accounts is horrible. Freezes while surfing. Sound quality poor

I recently made the transition from the Moto ...
FAST OS! Trackball works slick. Internet is fast. Customizable set up of phone. NOT WINDOWS MOBILE!!! Good battery life. Great reception and call quality
Blue backlit keypad kind of hard to see in dim lighting
